Contracts and Contract Amendments for Temporary Nursing Services for Fiscal Year 1994 and Fiscal Year 1995, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(21) The chancellor at Chicago recommends the ratification of contract amendments with temporary nursing agencies for services to the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C). The agencies provide general and speciality care nursing personnel to meet the temporary needs of the UIH&C. The temporary needs occur during peak patient occupancy periods or when regular nursing personnel are on vacation or sick leave. Vendors are selected based upon nurse specialty needs, ability of the agency to meet the specific nursing needs, and cost. Ratification of the contract amendments is recommended for FY 1994 and approval of contracts and amendments is sought for FY 1995. UIH&C has contracts for nursing services in FY 1994 for up to $49,000 with each agency listed below.1 These are presented at this time following discovery of an administrative error in processing the contracts in a timely manner. The ratifications to these FY 1994 contract amendments are for the additional amounts as follows: Caring Professionals Dreyfus Medical Services First Assist Froelich & Associates FTE Staff and Health Staff Kimberly Quality Care/Olsten Kimberly Quality Care Nurse Power/Med-Call Health Care Services Nurse Staffers * Nurse Source Ltd. and Alpha Medical NI Healthcare Services Quality Support Services and QSS of Indiana Verd & Associates and Staffing Associates The new contracts for FY 1995 are as follows: Favorite Nurses Health Staff NI Healthcare Services $ 81 000 79 000 84 000 $ 40 90 90 15 10 140 65 105 130 85 35 399 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 2 000 2
